If you haven’t already hear about pinterest, this post could be a game changer.Pinterest.comis an endless source of inspiration. It is a place where you can organize, share, and find new inspiration with friends, family and other users. The whole concept is to “pin” pictures and posts from anywhere on the internet on your own virtual pin board. You can also “repin” pictures from friends or other pinterest users. Pins go on your board and you can organize these into different categories.

Seriously, prepare to be addicted.

Use Pinterest to collaborate with your friends, family, bridesmaids and vendors. I follow brides that I am working with and they show me examples of photos and styles that they like. I can also get a very clear idea from their boards how their wedding is coming together. Smart. You can leave comments and @mentions which makes communicating simple and effective.

Seriously, prepare to be addicted.

Not only can you post inspiration found on the internet on Pinterest, you can search within the Pinterest database for specific wedding ideas – vintage wedding dress, winter theme wedding, engagement sessions etc.

Seriously, prepare to be addicted.

If you are already on pinterest follow me and I’ll follow you back, I love to see other people’s ideas and inspiration.

If you need an invite, shoot me an email (kirstenmanick@gmail.com) and I’ll send one over to you!
